Hi there, this is Joyce and my blue birdie ball’s nest.
"Joyce (Jiao) Jiao is a freelance illustrator and CG artist currently based in Los Angeles. They like to create paintings and illustrations as the feelings they felt, animations as the stories they would love to tell, and environment art as the world they dream of."
I first started my journey in art at York University's Visual Arts Department in Toronto, and later I decided to transfer to the States. I graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the winter of 2019 with my BFA degree emphasizing 2D animation and cinematic studies.
Soon after that, I moved from Chicago to Los Angeles to pursue further study in Gnomon - School of Visual Effects, Games & Animation. As I believe, it is important for an artist to keep an open mind and always stay on the front line and the pioneering industry, so that one can able continuously create meaningful art. And by today’s standard, learning 3D it’s one of the many ways.
In Gnomon, I found my passion in real-time environment art and virtual production, which is also an inherited passion from my previous brief study experience in Architecture Design. Ever since the dreadful fire happened in Paris that burned down the Notre-Dame fin 2019, I believe now it is our Digital Artists’ Obligation to find a way to keep all those wonderful creations of architecture in the world of data. Thus I believe, practicing the art of 3D environment creation is one answer for the future of our society.
